AZOPTION Volatility Index Analysis 波幅指數分析
In Hong Kong, HSI Volatility Index (VHSI) is used as a measurement of the 30-day Expected Volatility of HSI.
With reference to the VHSI calculation methodology, we try to calculate similar Volatility Index for all the other Option Classes.
Due to the limitations of public data, the calculation is simplified, and we named it as "Simplified Volatility Index" (Code begins with "SV").
VHSI (Blue Line) vs SVHSI (Green Line) comparison : [

Result: HHI has similar movement as HSI, but with much higher volatility.

You may change the number of standard deviation value to adjust the range tolerance.
